Commonplace Indifference
To speak in good taste:
My mouth is full,
but this food is delicious.
Since I prepared the meal,
could you wash the dishes?
It's on the tip of my tongue:
I know what I mean to say,
but consonants and vowels
are hard to place,
so give me some time.
This isn't a race.
It could always be worse:
Yes, it could be,
but spare the neurotic,
because hypotheticals,
are never exotic.
If there's a will,
there's a way:
Excuse the jaded ****,
who puts thought into thought,
and understands the
value of a buck.
But to speak freely,
and to lose my filter,
our differences are
commonplace.
I'm a flower
that withers.
And
at the end of the day,
who am I to say,
that my frustrations
differ from yours,
because we keep all of our truths
locked
behind closed doors.
